    Haha, yup. Not only does he have his fingers close to the ejection port, but he'd also get alot more stability at the end of the barrel if he had his hand supporting the rail system further down like you're saying

    Also, he doesn't have the proper eye relief for his ACOG. And on top of that, it doesn't look like an easily repeatable cheek weld on the stock. That last part I could be wrong about. Maybe he does get that same cheek weld every time. But the eye relief definately isn't correct. The third guy back is even worse! =P

    Heads-up, don't miss SMGLee's latest thread, "SMGLee for one day.....pix "
    He visited a SEAL base, and posted pictures from the armoury, so get your drool buckets ready.

    Well, I do know what I'm doing when it comes to small arms marksmanship. Once you become a proficient shooter, you can start altering your shooting habits to what works best for you. But you can't just do what's most comfortable to you from the start because you'll create bad habits quickly. How do you know that these guys know what they're doing? They're in SEAL qualification training. I seriously doubt that they've had a whole lot of marksmanship training thus far. As far as I'm tracking, the Navy has done away with the M16 portion of their boot camp and only does familiarization with the M9 and M500. Just because he's going through SEAL training doesn't mean he knows about eye relief.

    I cant stress enough what a difference getting your support hand as far forward as you can makes. Way more control and easier to drive your weapon to the next target.

    gonna have to agree there......pulling in that tight is fine for close quarters, kind of a no-no for distance shooting.....

    Hey, I have a great idea, let's all sharpshoot SEAL's and their training based off of still photos, because we think we know more and are there training them. Oh wait were not there and were not training them...

    Seriously

    If I was at that range I would have still politely corrected those sailors as I hope anybody else would do for me if I was doing something wrong. But you're right, we're not there. We're just making comments and conversation on military photographs. Isn't that what's done on this forum?

    Look what turned up in the daily pix!


    Hires.
    U.S. Army Helicopter Black Hawk hovers above the guided-missile destroyer USS Farragut to perform a fast rope exercise as part of Fuerzas Alidas PANAMAX 2008.

    Hires

    Perhaps they're SF and not Navy .. but who can really tell?
